My friend Natalie has 4 boys who she must truly love because when her 11 yr. old decided that he wanted a Giant Squid pillow for Christmas she got to work and made him one. This all started after he did a report for school on the Giant Squid--scientific name, Architeuthis.
Her inspiration came from this post, an equally "crazy in a good way" woman who must love her boyfriend as much as Natalie loves her #1 son. And apparently these 2 are not the only ones who are squid-maniacs (see the post's commentary).
So what's the strangest Christmas present you've ever made for someone or given to someone?
I'm dying to find out what crazy sewing/crafting you've done for your loved ones.
LOL. love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the coolest presents!
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness that thing is HUGE! But if the kid loves squids as much as you say then he will remember this Christmas for ever!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy boys would freak out if I made them giant squid! Though I have no idea what we would do with 3 floating around the house!!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! That is a huge squid!! That must cost a small fortune in stuffing ;) But it is really cool!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great!
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought I was a great Mama for making not one but TWO hallowe'en costumes for my munchkin this year (original was not preschooler potty friendly!). That is one awesome gift.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything "weird" I've had to make, though I've certainly made things that turned out weird unintentionally....
I make hats, so maybe no SO weird, but I made and Evil Dr. Porkchop" (Toy Story) hat this year. LOVE the giant squid!!! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI made a corduroy humpback whale for my sister-in-law, without a pattern. The giant squid wins!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh!! I had no idea it was that big seeing it just lying on the bed. You had to put that picture in there for just me, to see her standing on the bed with it! I love it! That mom rocks :D
